The new Kia Carnival has been seen undisguised on Indian roads. Kia had previously unveiled the exterior of its Carnival facelift last year, and the Indian variant looks nearly identical to the global model, with the wheel design being the only noticeable difference. The fourth-generation model, internationally known as the Kia KA4, was displayed at the 2023 Auto Expo in India.
2024 Kia Carnival Spotted testing in India
The new Carnival does look quite badass and this new styling should attract a lot of buyers.
It is also expected to come loaded with features, but as it is going to come through the CBU route expect the pricing to touch the Rs 50 lakh… pic.twitter.com/SK5yo19lFC

Kia Carnival To Come With Innovated Design
Recent spy shots show the vehicle in its production form. It has a more upright design, featuring a revised grille and new vertically oriented headlights with a three-step light unit and L-shaped LED daytime running lights. The bumper is also updated with a wider central air intake.
At the rear, the sleek rectangular tail lamps have been replaced with new L-shaped units, which are connected similarly to the facelifted models of the Sonet and Seltos. Despite these changes, many design elements remain the same, including the unique patterned panel on the C-pillar, the wraparound rear spoiler, and the body cladding along the lower edges.
Kia also showcased the interior of the updated global model last year. Significant changes include a rotary gear selector replacing the larger lever from the previous model. The global version features a curved display setup with two 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and instrumentation, a head-up display, a rear entertainment system with a 14.6-inch HD screen, eight airbags, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) like Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2). The Indian version is expected to have similar interior features.
